Musings of a fantasy author in a wibbly wobbly world.

Optionetics has many claims to make. He/she loves their Microsoft stock. Follow them for shameless MS promotion.

*EDIT* BEFORE READING ANY FURTHER, THIS POST WAS MODIFIED ON 24/3/09. IN CASE USERS ARE FINDING IT FIRST, PLEASE NOTE THAT IT APPEARS THE COMPANY OPTIONETICS HAS BEEN THE VICTIM OF A USER CALLING THEMSELVES BY THE SAME NAME. OPTIONETICS IS A LEGITIMATE FIRM WHO PROVIDES EDUCATION. PLEASE SEE POST:

Or: The only options for “Optionetics” seem to be Citigroup and Microsoft

Discovered a new one on Twitter by searching it with the #microsoft tag. Very useful btw.

Meet Optionetics who is getting a mention on the site because they have not answered any of my questions put to them and seem to be on a crusade to promote Microsoft stock by making claims on their twitter account.

So lets see what we know about Optionetics: “Successful Financial Expert ❉ Options trader ❉ Wealthy person ❉ Follow me for Greatest Stock Tips!” is what is said on their profile, however there is no backup to this claim. So I suppose we take them on their word?

On another post it appears that Optionetics likes to quote others comments without giving credit. (I thought this was called plagairism?)

So do you take advise from this person? Ill leave you to make up your own mind as to their posting intentions, although I ask you to look at how much promotion of MS stock they seem to be doing. Here is their Twitter: http://twitter.com/Optionetics

I challenge Optionetics to post a reply here and justify themselves.

Somehow, I doubt they will.

For your enjoyment, heres a selection of their “gems of wisdom” from Twitter:

“Stock Tips of the day. MSFT is releasing a new Xbox, Windows 7, cloud computing. Buy in now before the stock goes up! Way up!”

“Just put in my order for MSFT stocks and getting ready to attend the Oscars Party tomorrow night.”

“MSFT is the best tech stock to buy right now! Will be quadrupled when Windows 7 is released later this year.”

I think you get the idea, ill stop there. At the time of adding this text, its been 6 hours since he/she last updated. Ive sent them a reply informing them they are on this site. I wonder how long Ill have to wait?

*LINK REMOVED* – IN THE SPIRIT OF FAIRNESS, I BELIEVE THAT THERE COULD BE A CAMPAIGN TO CHEAPEN A LEGITIMATE FIRM. AFTER MESSENGING OPTIONETICS, I SEE THEY ARE A LIGITIMATE, PROFESSIONAL COMPANY. PLEASE SEE THE MORE RECENT POST ON THIS SUBJECT.

And, maybe I’m wrong, but isn’t MS still losing money on every Xbox that goes out the door? Or have they recently turned that around?

Not to mention the MS stock graphs I’ve seen don’t have a good trajectory to them.

But, hey, what do I know? Why don’t we all just go follow this get rich quick scheme? What’s the worst that could happen, especially these days? Right?

lol
